Legalizing Marijuana

Should marijuana be made legal for recreational use?

How about for medicinal purposes in ALL 50 States?

The marijuana plant can be used for clothing and a lot of other goods that are now made out of cotton, and it would be cheaper than cotton. What are your opinions on this?

Marijuana can be made a taxable good.
1) Do you think it is better to have the profits from this plant circulate from drug dealer to drug dealer or circulate through the American cash flow and help the economy?

2)Do you think it is better to have the plant smuggled in from other countries and let those other countries profit from it, or have it grown in America and let the American economy profit?

If we grew marijuana in America, we would not only be creating many new goods but we would also be creating more jobs. We could employ people to work on the marijuana farms much like we do with tobacco and cotton farms. As long as the workers don't start smoking the stuff, this would be very profitable. What are your opinions?

Do you think it is morally right for a drug to be illegal if it can benefit both the people and the economy of America?

Do you think it is morally right to allow people to drink alcohol, which is a major cause of fatal automobile accidents, but not allow them to smoke marijuana, which is a major cause of obesity from all the junk food?

"OUTSOURCING"

Do you know what it means?

Should it be call "US citizens jobs going overseas?

Do you know what the tag on your clothe says?

Do you know where you are calling when you dial the 888 or 800?

Have you or anyone you know been affected by it?

How secured is your job?

Times Herald Record article

This is from Pat:

This was in the letters to the editor on page 18 of Monday's Times Herald Record. I think it would be interesting to get the classes view on this and why they would argue for or against it. Stop the childishness

Does it really matter that much to apologize to another person or another country even if you believe they are wrong and you are right?

To argue about who is right or wrong, whether it be in a marriage or in foreign relations, will just exasperate the problem. In a marriage, the problem could develop into a divorce, and with countries, it could develop into war. Let's stop being so childish and swallow our pride. Read what the Bible says about pride.

Term Paper

Write a 10-12 page paper on any ethical issue of your choice. The assignment is for you to take a position on the ethical issue you choose and attempt to convince your readers that your point of view on the matter is the one they should adopt themselves. This is an exercise in rational persuasion, which means that you must provide well thought out arguments that reasonable people would be willing to entertain, and possibly even adopt, considering your arguments are good. In other words, you must attempt to explain why your position is correct by providing reasons and well constructed logical arguments.

This assignment requires, as one of its purposes, that you think hard about some idea and provide some sort of principle (or set of principles) that justifies your position. Does using the principle you propose deductively entail some logical consequence that you would not be willing to accept? If so, then that is probably not a very good principle, and may require modification or rejection.

This paper requires no outside sources. In fact, I am discouraging them. I am not interested in what other people think about this issue, but in how you can support your claims through well reasoned and clearly articulated arguments.

If you do end up having to reference something (like the material we have covered during the semester), be sure to acknowledge that in citations. Plagiarism, defined as the use of sources other than your own ideas, whether in verbatum copying or in paraphrasing, is a very serious academic offence, which will not be tolerated. I am very good at catching instances of plagiarism, and will fail papers that are plagiarized, so just be honest with your work. Apart from that, this is an ethics course, so don’t cheat.

Before you start writing your papers, run your topics by me for approval. I’d like to have an idea of what you’re working on, and how you’re approaching your papers, so that you don’t waste your time doing something that will not help your paper and/or your grade.
